This plan is designed to develop musicianship and performing skills in association with an exploration of musicology: music history, style, musical perception and analysis, music technology, and the study of music in its cultural contexts (ethnomusicology).

At the completion of the program, students will have broad expertise in at least one of the sub-disciplines of Musicology; a high level of practical skills in music cognition, analysis, and performance; and a high level generic graduate skills in the gathering, synthesis, criticism and presentation of information. The flexibility of the program allows for emphasis on: scholarly examination of musical repertoires, utilising both traditional and innovative methodologies; technologically based musicology, including the study of electronic music and psycho-acoustics; music aesthetics and criticism, both in historical overview and contemporary application; and music as social and cultural practice, through both historiographically and ethnographically informed study. Students will have a broad contextual knowledge that links to wider fields of historical, philosophical, cultural, and social study.

There are two possible major sequences.
